'Posh' X Factor contestant Chloe Jasmine has said she 'wasn't herself' when she previously auditioned for the X Factor.

The 23-year-old, who wore bleached blonde extensions and a pink flashing cowboy hat in her 2006 tryout, made a very different first impression on the show's judges - and spoke without her plummy accent.

In her 2014 audition that aired on Saturday night, Chloe was dressed to the nines in a black designer gown, sultry red lips and fashionable floppy hat.

She told Mirror TV: "When I look back on my audition back in 2006, I really wasn't myself. I was very young and still unsure of who I really was.

"Eight years have passed since, and now I'm much more self assured and confident in who I am."

The singer, who claims to have had elocution lessons since the age of 11 to get rid of a lisp, was heard speaking with a more down to earth West Country accent in her earlier audition.

And despite being only 16 at the time of her original trial, the wannabe said she wanted fame because "it's easy".

She then tried to wow judges Simon Cowell, Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh with her rendition of Fugees cover 'Killing Me Softly'.

Warbling away in her 2006 audition, the cameras pan to a visibly unimpressed Simon with his head in his hands while Louis merely laughed.

Sharon, however, let Chloe down gently - telling her she was just too young and not yet ready for stardom.

Despite claiming to be inspired by the sounds of Motown and Mariah Carey, her audition was a very different story to her bluesy performance of Black Coffee from last weekend.

Viewers saw completely different reactions from the four judges, now including Cheryl Cole and former Spice Girl Mel B, who noted she admired Chloe's 'posh accent.'

It didn't take long for the Sloane ranger to drop in her apparent boarding school education as the reason for her polished voice.

Chloe is no stranger to the limelight as she's already appeared in Naomi Campbell's modelling competition The Face which aired last year.
